Which generation do you think is better: G4 or G5?

[Pinkamena111 36]

So here is a question in my head : I wonder which generation is better so is it gen 4 or gen 5? They are both good for me but what about you guys? Both designs are great though. The songs are cool so yeah, what do you think?

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

if it's pitted against the movie.... gen 5 movie wins hands down.... 

gen 4 movie is hard to introduce to new members.... while gen 5.... so much good in it.

Altered title for proper context.

Better? It wouldn’t be fair to decide that at this point in my opinion. It’s just too early.. You might want to wait to watch the actual G5 series before choosing. The movie isn’t all G5 has to offer.

Oh. You're right.

I give you your first brohoof

Way too early to say. FIM ran for nine seasons; G5 only has the movie.

[Pinkamena111 36]

Maybe I should ask this later... 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

to me for now gen 5 is a winner on it's own while gen4 people are divided. and gen5 learned a lot from gen4... and the budget..... the BUDGET.... but this might change my opinion in the next release of the episodes....

 

[Pinkamena111 36]

I'm just going to wait if anybody else says something.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

For me the answer will obviously be Gen 4 simply based on nostalgia. Now, a better question is can G5 live up to that legacy and deliver an experience that will give a new generation of people the same level of entertainment we got when we first watched Gen 4? Based on the movie, I'd say yes.

I can't judge from just the movie. I'll have to watch a bunch of episodes before I can make that decision.

[Pinkamena111 36]

I guess we should wait for the episodes to come so bye.

[CheeryFox 23,821]

Cheese...the movie made such an impression... But...that's one movie...so...G4.

G4 all the way! No competition whatsoever!

What he said!

[Astralshy 26,428]

I agree it's way too early to make this claim in general especially cause G4 is sooo good, But what I can say G5 definitely has the potential for getting better than G4. Whether it really achieves it or not is another question entirely. There are many open questions to answer which is fine for building for a TV show but needed to be answered first before answering whether G4 or G5 is better.

Furthermore I doubt that people will come to a common opinion regarding this question. If I look through the characters. season and episodes of G4 there is a huge difference in opinions here.I can only imagine that this gap between opinions will only grow for the question whether G4 or G5 os better.

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

G5 only has a movie so far. We should wait until the actual series, from season 2 preferably, to make a more in-depth comparison 

[Seabro 8]

I actually like more g4 cause it have more content to watch and also because i love the mane 6's

But i don't hate g5, its good, but i still thinking that g4 is better

[Splashee 28,563]

G4 will forever stay in my heart!

 

G5 is 3D. I have seen 3D before.

 

 

But then there was Pony Life G4 and Equestria Girls G4, and I don't know, so the score is lowered by them. Same with MLP The Movie 2017 and Rainbow Roadtrip, which was made by Boulder Media, which did G5, so both are lowering the scores for both.

 

And no Derpy in G5! I feel like a huge part of G4 was Derpy.

 

They are close! Who will win? We will see after the G5 series begin/end.

[AppleButt 8,675]

G4 is better to me and I don’t think that’s gonna change no matter where G5 goes.  We’ll see how this statement ages as time goes by though but I’m pretty confident about that.

No matter what mine will always be G4 i hold it too close to my heart to let go

Looks like lots of people said that it's G4 well ok then!

[HereComesTom 2,266]

So far I think G-4 is better, but it's too soon to say.  Ask again in a decade or so when G-5 has wrapped up its finale!

Personally, I think G-4 had more balanced characterization, more and better worldbuilding, and more satisfying endings to its stories.  Of course, that's just taking the sample of the movie, which had a rushed ending, kept the mystery of how the world of G-4's finale morphed into the magic-less dystopia of G-5, and that didn't give Pipp enough characterization...only one datapoint isn't quite enough to establish a pattern, so...

[North Star 5,224]

I mean... we'll see. 

But the new Gen has a lot to live up to

 

[Pearly Marshmallow 399]

As of today, my position is solidified: G4. 

We'll see in a couple of years, but regardless of where G5 goes, G4 will always have a special place in my heart.

Generation 4 is the past of generation 5,so they are both awesome when I view them in that light. Generation 4 has better 2d animation in my opinion(gasp) because it’s the best 2d animation quality I’ve seen since spongebob! The g5 movie has a LOT of animation competition in the 3D movies but is still awesome and the color palletes remind me of gen 3.5 and gen. 1. In both generations the storyline is super engaging! The actresses in generation 4 are always upbeat,and are awesome in interviews,while in generation 5 they are awesome and original but seem fake in the interviews…overall it’s best not to judge gen 5 until later but it’s seems so far like it’s  made for a younger audience… while gen 4 is for all ages!
